Cooking Steps
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When the pot is hot, add beef, mirepoix and couscous to the dry pan. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until it begins to brown, 2 min.** Season with Zesty Garlic Blend and pepper.
- Add crushed tomatoes, stock powder, pesto, half the Parmesan and 3 cups (6 cups) water. (TIP: Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot - this will add extra flavour!). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until couscous is tender and beef is cooked through, 8-10 min.**
- Remove from heat, then stir in spinach. Season with pepper. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 30 sec.
- Divide soup between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to get beef, omit oil, then add beef, mirepoix and couscous to the dry pan. Cook beef in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the sausage.**
